Realizing cognitive EW in a single VPX slot

April 29, 2026

Electronic warfare (EW) has realized evolutionary leaps in the last decade with the fusion of several key technological categories including heterogeneous processing, high-fidelity mixed-signal converters, and the defense industry’s adoption of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard, the C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS), and VPX architectures. The continuing trend towards increased performance in a shrinking footprint has now made possible a complete cognitive EW capability in a single VPX slot with all of the associated size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) and scalability benefits.
